So many of us are eager to avoid a challenge as if it were a horrid disease. But those that desire to change the world must learn to embrace it as a necessary guide to greatness. Eric introduces us to the historic Christian mindset toward challenges, which surely invite you to the idea of living a bit closer to the Dangerous Edge.

Family Night: Choristers performance and Dr. Dan Bellamy – using adult-size balloons to portray the story of David and Goliath. God builds dangerous men and women—unstoppable, indefatigable men and women—that don’t accept the stop signs of cultural correctness as valid reasons to slow down. But instead, they live lives according to the prerogative of heaven—driving forward when heaven’s stop light shines green. This sort of man or woman sets captives free and turns the world’s status quo on its head

Chorale performance. James, the apostle, commissions us to consider it pure joy when we encounter difficulties and trials. There are a thousand excuses to avoid putting such a strange command into practice. As a result, we lack power intrinsic to the fervent obedient Christian life. Maybe this message can help to change that

King Albert of Belgium is an unsung hero of the past century. His actions in World War I model a spiritual decisiveness that is strangely lacking from rank-and-file Christians of our day. He stood against evil and refused to back down even at great cost to his life and homeland.

May 1940 was a dark month in world history. The evil Nazi regime led by Adolf Hitler aggressively took control of Europe. Country after country fell before overwhelming Nazi forces; only Great Britain was left where Winston Churchill led in impossible circumstances. He set us an example to follow. When all goes dark here on earth—don’t for a moment think that the light has gone out in heaven.

It's about getting our eyes off of our own circumstances and seeing the bigger matters of a lost and dying world. This particular message addresses the Christian homeschool family. How can a homeschooled family live boldly for Christ? How can they change the world in which they live? How can they say “no” to the bait of self-focus and snatch up the call of God to audaciously serve in the Name of Jesus Christ? How can they dare to do as Stanley Dale?

Parenting is difficult. The difficulty increases when we go after more than just “good enough” for our children. The flack that comes from aiming our children for “great and godly” is almost too much for most parents, so, “good enough” often seems like a reasonable place to settle. This message is about aiming our children toward “ready and raring to change the world”! It’s difficult, but it comes with power, because it’s parenting in agreement with the Holy Spirit. “Changing the world for Jesus Christ” is precisely what God is desiring to do in and through our children.

The Bible teaches us that trials are our friends and sufferings are our bosom companions. In this hour with Eric, he'll unpack the strange but amazing concept that pure joy is not found in the absence of trials but BECAUSE of trials.

Over the past five years Eric has constructed eight different messages for his son about becoming an honorable man. These eight messages explore a man’s purpose, his uniqueness, his sexuality, and his powerful role in this world. This message will supply an overview of all of these super-important dimensions of godly manhood.

Over and over throughout history the same thrilling storyline unfolds: evil encroaches, all seems lost, and a manly hero rises up to put evil in its place. Of course, this is the storyline of the Gospel. But, it is also the storyline of the Church. And if there was an hour in history when the Church triumphant was needed, it’s right now. This is a heartening message in the midst of the darkening age in which we live to remember how God has worked in history past and how He will surely work today.

When a Christian gets his game on, sirens go off in hell. A Christian man functioning as he ought to has always been, and always will be, considered “dangerous” to this world’s systems. There is no greater threat to the Dark Kingdom than a man courageously shining Light and proclaiming Truth. Since Godly men are “dangerous men”, the games they must learn to play are “dangerous games”.

Anxiety has become a familiar house guest to a strong majority of modern-day Christians. Many of us accept it as a personality issue, rather than addressing it as a dangerous enemy. The Bible teaches a life of fearlessness. And, to many of us, the idea of fearlessness, sounds wonderful, but wishful. This session was built to train the Body of Christ in how to cultivate the fearless life that laughs at empty bank accounts, mocks disease, chuckles over impossibilities, and smiles at the future.

Often our aim for our children’s development is to see them “above-average” or “better than most.” But, when the Truth of our super-conquering Jesus Christ is infused into the training of our children, nothing short of “children that change the world” will do. In this session, Eric Ludy will pass along both a vision and a practical platform for beginning to think and parent with even greater boldness and purpose.

The constant declaration of the Christian life should be “I can’t, but God can!” Our lives were made to be inhabited by the living God, through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, to be used as a “glove” upon His hand. This enabling power of His life, called grace, supplies all we need for life and godliness. Grace is far more than a mere hug of God. In this life-changing message, Eric Ludy equips you with the spiritual tools to stop trying to manufacture the Christian life and instead let God do it in and through you.

When the winds and rains beat against your house, are you movable? Do you grow weak in the knees when bad news strikes? Are you susceptible to the bait of anxiety, foreboding, fretting, and fear? This message holds the secret to an immovable soul. We'll give you a hint: it's a person.

This word is usually used in regards to strong fortresses of old, but it is also meant to describe the believer's life - fortified. In this session, Eric expounds on how to live a fortified life spiritually, physically, and emotionally in order to remain strong against the enemy of our soul.

(for Dads only/or Dads and sons) - The "coming of age message” that Eric originally designed for his twelve-year-old son, that has made a huge impact on men all over this nation.

This message is an introduction to the facts that never fail, the Word that never returns void, and the Truth that truly does make the Christian free. Because in such a showdown, the Cross of Christ always proves victorious. Handout: https://masshope.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Ludy_Eric_1.pdf

You thought genealogies were boring? Well, not after this message, you won’t! Throughout world history, the Hebrews have stood unmatched in their maintenance of genealogies, lineage, and descent. God promised them that from their bloodline would come One who would rescue the world from sin. This “Deliverer” would be of the seed of the woman, born of a virgin, born in Bethlehem, and would be from everlasting. Well, this “Deliverer” has come. And just as promised, He was born of a virgin girl in Bethlehem, and He was no mere man. He was God born in the body of a man. Buckle your seat belt for this one!

Scripture is under attack, and countless individuals, even within the Church, doubt the authenticity and supernatural construction of God’s Word.

It will supercharge your faith, give you greater confidence in the Word of God, and cause you to fall in love with Scripture all over again.

The authority of the Word of God is being openly challenged today, even from within the Church. Though this has been true in nearly every generation, it is possible to have confidence and boldness in the timeless, eternal, and flawless character of Scripture. In this soul-stirring message, Eric Ludy explains the Canon Test (which God gave Moses to prove the authority of His Word) and shows how this “canon” was used throughout Scripture and is now applied in our lives. The climatic reality is that Jesus Christ has fulfilled the Canon Test and has the divine right to rule and control our lives. This powerful message will leave you awestruck as you listen to how Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament in perfection. Handout: ttps://masshope.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Ludy_Eric_6.pdf
